mediante questo studio si è andati ad indagare ulteriormente la lateralizzazione emisferica nei pulcini di pollo domestico (Gallus gallus). i pulcini, in seguito al superamento di un adeguato addestramento, sono stati sottoposti a due test (sagittale e fronto-parallelo). sono state osservate la frequenza con cui i pulcini beccavano lo stimolo target, i tempi di risposta e la direzione con cui il soggetto si approcciava allo svolgimento del compito. i risultati supportano la teoria secondo cui anche questi animali possiedono una linea numerica mentale

Abstract
through this study, the hemispheric lateralization of domestic chicken chicks (Gallus gallus) was further investigated. the chicks, after passing adequate training, were subjected to two tests (sagittal and fronto-parallel). the frequency with which the chicks pecked the target stimulus, the response times and the direction in which the subject approached the performance of the task were observed. the results support the presence, even in these animals, of a mental number lineFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
